This 1929 Curtiss Robin has been restored, making it as good as new.

This was one of several models of the Fairchild 24; this aircraft featured side-by-side seating for two in an enclosed cabin.

I was surprised to find this Golden Age classic among the World War II veterans.

This, the oldest Fairchild in existence, was restored by Herb Harcom in 1963 and donated to the EAA six years later.

This beautiful replica was built in 1998, representing a machine from a major local company, S.C. Johnson Wax.

In 1984, this little guy wrested the title of "World's Smallest" from its neighbor in the background, the Sky Baby.

Ralph Rosnick perservered for 21 years building this beautiful replica; he donated it to the EAA AirVenture Museum in 2000.

Enjoy this fine replica, completed by Arthur Huntley in 2003. Replacing the original Gnome or LeRhône rotary engine is a 110 hp Warner Scarab.

Walter W. Redfern built this fine replica in 1964, as no original DR-1s exist. On this machine, a Warner “Scarab” 7 cylinder 145-hp radial replaces the 9-cylinder, 120-hp LeRhone rotary engine of the original.

After sitting in a barn for some 40 years, this beauty was restored to her Golden Age glory.

No, there is nothing wrong with this photo - the pilot's name on this 1938 Taylorcraft was deliberately painted upside-down - or, rather, right-side-up, when the pilot is flying in his usual attitude.
